No you morons. It is not because of some enzyme. Vitamin D deficiency has been identified in most Covid 19 patients. Who has the least vitamin D deficiency? Kids, because kids drink Milk! Duh. Who da thunk it!
New Study Finds Potential Reason Why COVID-19 Occurs Less In Children
Authored by Paula Liu via The Epoch Times,
The reason COVID-19 occurs less frequently in children could be due to the lack of a certain enzyme, researchers have found.
This new study detailed in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on May 20, discovered that the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which grows in abundance as the individual grows, might be the reason that less than two percent of all individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease – are children.
Researchers had suspected that COVID-19 susceptibility could be linked to the amount of gene expression of ACE2 seen in the nasal cavity, given that the enzyme acts as a receptor to allow the SARS-CoV-2 virus to pass into the body.
To investigate this potential link, researchers looked for a relationship between the two – the level of gene expression of ACE2 in the nose and COVID-19 infection – by taking nasal swabs from 305 people involved in an asthma study. Researchers hypothesized that the lower the levels of enzyme gene expression, the less likely it is a person will be infected by COVID-19.
Researchers said they chose to swab the nose because it is one of the first access points for SARS-CoV-2 to infect an individual.
Samples were taken from both asthmatic (49.8 percent) and non-asthmatic patients. The 305 people involved in the study were between four to 60 years of age.
Researchers said they found a clear association between ACE2 expression and age – opening up a possible explanation as to why most children, who tend to have lower levels of enzyme expression, are less susceptible to COVID-19.
Supinda Bunyavanich, professor of Genetics and Genomic Sciences and Paediatrics at Mount Sinai, said in a press release that the study found “that there are low levels of ACE2 expression in the nasal passages of younger children, and this ACE2 level increases with age into adulthood.
“This might explain why children have been largely spared in the pandemic,” Bunyavanich said.
Agree. All these “studies” seem to miss the most obvious. But they do this for a reason … no $ in it.
Vitamin D deficiency, and Zinc deficiency, is a primary cause of getting very ill from any corona virus.
But there is no money to be made out of this fact, so its conveniently buried.
So they continue to cause genocide for $ and profit. These people all belong in hell.
Fauci should be hung from a lamp post, by the mob.
Hear Hear Spock
Totally Agree
These “people” ( using the term loosely) are the same people who demonize naturopathic health / preventative / immune system strengthening HEALTH.
There is No money in healthy Populations for these “Alopaths / Psychopaths.
I prefer stoning !

Your body naturally creates vitamin D on exposure to sunlight. Two of my kids were vitamin D deficient on a recent doctor’s visit, and it’s because they have gotten hardly any sunlight exposure over the last 8 months (they are now drinking milk every day). I wonder how many Covid patients have vitamin D deficiency for the same reason. Correlation does not necessarily mean causation (note: I have not looked at any study of covid and vit. d)
Nautilus, your point about not getting sunlight is a valid one. It seems you are saying prior to seeing the Dr. your kids didn’t drink that much milk? Most kids do, so less instances of Vitamin D deficiency. Many articles about Covid said large percentage of patients had Vitamin D deficiency. Not necessarily causation but documented that Vitamin D deficiency lowers immune systems ability to ward off various ailments.
